Summary/Abstract: The paper describes the restoration of a Schwarzwald wall clock with regulator (pendulum), dated around the year 1900. After a few introductory words,general data are presented such as the description of the wall clock component parts,especially of its painted wooden shield, and the preservation state at the moment we took contact with the object. The interventions of restoration that were made are also described in the paper. The case it’s interesting due to the beauty and the rarity of this objects nowadays (painted wall clock with pendulum) and a bit of a challenge was added from the diversity of materials we had to deal with (paint, wood, metal). The fact that the clock’s mechanism was still functional, made the work on this object even more pleasant.
